71 tailights and marker lights
Who has the best price on Tailights and marker lights. Are they all made by the same company?
Thanks Larry

Re: 71 tailights and marker lights
There are two companies making them, Laysons and B/E&A. In both cases, the quality of the B/E&A stuff is far better than Laysons. The B/E&A tail lights are almost perfect, but then only made a mold for one side, so they all have the same part number. They'll fit just fine on a road runner, but I'm not sure if the one side only creates any problem with fittment of the GTX bezels. The B/E&A sidemarkers are very close, but the white plastic material is a little different. I'd stay away from the Layson's stuff.

Re: 71 tailights and marker lights
just for more input, i've switched taillight bezels from side to side with no difference in fitment

Re: 71 tailights and marker lights
I bought taillight lenses from them. First they sent the wrong set, and the next two sets came cracked. It was a big pain in the butt since they are located in Canada. Nice people, but I would buy from B,E & A in Ohio. All of there stuff is licensed by Chrysler and Mike is a good guy. Eparts sells his stuff cheaper because they aren't licensed. I believe they are both manufactured by the same place though. If I remember correctly, they are in a collaboration to manufacture these parts, but Mike pays a licensing fee to Chrysler for his parts, thus has to charge more for them. At the time I didn't know B,E & A sold them or I would have bought from them.
Re: 71 tailights and marker lights
Correct, manufactured by the same people but no part numbers on the eparts stuff....and Mike has much better customer service. Give him a call, and he might even cut you a deal on multiple parts.ryangtogtx wrote:I bought taillight lenses from them. First they sent the wrong set, and the next two sets came cracked.

Re: 71 tailights and marker lights
I've seen the marker lights at one of the meets going for approximately $100 NOS If i recall correctly. [http://www.jacksautoparts.com] Had them. They are not listed on the web site but he has a lot of stuff not listed. He might even have the taillight lens.

Re: 71 tailights and marker lights
I have 1 NOS tailight that I will probably sell to help pay for the Repo ones. Can't see putting it on a race car.
